To date, pangolins are the most trafficked mammals in the world.

NASA New Horizons mission leader Alan Stern and astrobiologist David Grinspoon divulge the most intimate accounts of the decades of planning needed for the Pluto probe in the new book “Chasing New Horizons.”

InSight could become the first probe to dig deep into Mars' interior to explore how the Red Planet’s geology evolved over billions of years, including the planet’s so-called “marsquakes.”

Are cats smarter? Or are dogs? When scientists counted the brain cells in these animals, there was a clear winner. But the latest research on animal intelligence challenges all of the old-school notions of what it means to be smart.

Cycads co-existed with the dinosaurs, making this group of palm-like plants extremely valuable to collectors and botanic gardens around the world. But today, cycads are in peril.

In honor of “WestWorld” coming back for a second season -- which we expect to be no less baffling than the first -- the NewsHour asked its staff for recommendations for movies and TV shows that left us with questions.

These 3D-printed homes can be built in under 24 hours for as low as $4,000. They're designed to help solve the world's homelessness and housing problems.

What weighs more than 87,000 tons and is twice the size of #Texas? The Great #Pacific Garbage Patch, according to a study published Thursday.

In the report, @TheOceanCleanup estimates this soup of trash in the northern Pacific contains 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic — enough to give every person in the world 250 scraps of this debris.

To put these numbers in perspective, the #garbage in the patch weighs about as much as 1.7 billion plastic bottles, 43,000 #cars or 600 blue #whales. #science #environment #pollution

Five experts provided their recommendations for smart upgrades to help improve your standard of living by making your home a little "smarter."

Abnormal spring weather is happening all over the U.S. Here is a list of common flowers in your region and what you should expect from them this spring.

Computational social scientists found that 40,000 American Twitter users retweeted Russian trolls more than 80,000 times in a single month before the 2016 election.

Half artist/half scientist, D. Allan Drummond, assistant professor of biochemistry at the University of Chicago, uses a 3D printer to turn the subjects he studies into works of art.

D. Allan Drummond investigates the inner workings of cells at his day job, but when he gets home, he takes his passion for science to the digital drawing board. And once he’s done designing realistic models of his favorite specimens on his computer, he prepares them for 3D printing. Drummond’s crawling critters--trilobites, beetles, moths and soon a praying mantis--are sights to behold. 3D printed and cast in bronze and silver, these creatures catch peoples’ eyes but then hold their gazes with detailed realism.
